Just last weekend was the first race in the US CUP Triple Crown series at Bonelli Park in California. The pro men’s race had a field of roughly 83, which is really not all that different from years past. On the other hand, the women’s pro field was less than half what it was six years ago, with only 18 women in the XC race and only 10 in the short track. Does anybody else see this as a problem?! On the up side, Lea Davison had a break through weekend, taking first in short track and second in the XC race. Yay Lea! It doesn’t seem that long ago that we were all racing collegiately. Speaking of collegiate racing, it looks like I’ll be heading back to grad school in the spring of 2012. I think collegiate racing is the only thing that could entice me out of retirement.
